Hello,
We have had some fantastic weather here in the East on the UK so plenty of opportunity to do some imaging. I am still going for quiet faint but interesting galaxies so spent two evenings collecting RGB 5 min subs of NGC4438. Again using the C11 with the 0.6 reducer.
We should announce the ICX694 camera this week so will be able to give it a name then.

Hi Steve!
It looks good - congratulation!
I'm looking for a 8300 Chip due to small pixels for my FSQ106ED - but now I saw the datasheet from ICX694 and your image - I think, 'I have to wait'.
Is there anywhere a camera for testing purposes ;)
Kind regards.

Steve, great news! I am torn between 694 and smaller 674 (because I may use the CCD only for small targets like planetary nebulas so maybe the size of 694 (depending on the final price and overall quality) is overkill to what I need and the 674 in 428EXM is just great).
Herbert_W: no doubt 694 will be FAR SUPERIOR to noisy KAF-8300 ;D I would not hesitate to get the new ExView HAD II CCD from SONY.

Hi,
Thanks both. I am getting a lot of enjoyment using the new exview sensors. Atik314, Atik 428 or Atik 460, you can't go far wrong.
Cheers
Steve
